2. Slow Response Diagnosis
Perform the diagnosis continuously after warm-up, while AVCS is operating and the target timing advance is
small.
5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
1. Crankshaft Timing Diagnosis
Judge as NG when the timing advance is large. Judge as OK when it is small.
Judge as NG when all the following conditions are established and the continuous time is more than 20 sec-
onds. Judge as OK and clear the NG when the following conditions are not established and the continuous
time is more than one second.
Time Needed for Diagnosis: 20 seconds
Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates when malfunctions occur in 2 continuous driving cycles.
2. Slow Response Diagnosis
Calculates (integrate by positive and negative separately) the AVCS deviation amount when the timing ad-
vance is large. Judges NG if the integrated value is large after 30 seconds has passed, and judges OK if it
is small.
Abnormality Judgment
When all of the following conditions are established, judged as OK.
